Beatitude: Mt. 5:5

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

Matthew 5:5

Reflection

Meekness is not weakness; it is strength freed from domination. The meek inherit the earth because they know how to receive it reverently. They cultivate, protect, and share rather than exploit. Their gentleness becomes a form of ecological wisdom.
